Jib – Lower Wear Pads
Disconnect t
he springs
and remove the four bolts
to take off the pivot lock slide (see
illustration ). With the jib fully
retracted, clamp together the top of the
jib and outer tube to remove the weight
from the lower wear pads. Remove the
bolts using the access holes on the
bottom of the outer tube. Slide the wear
pads out the back. Insert new wear pads in
the same orientation, making sure the countersink is facing away from the jib. If shims were
installed on top of the old wear pads, reinsert them in the same position. Apply thread locker
and bolt wear pads back in.
Outer Tube Side Wear Pads
If you are noticing your jib sitting to one side or moving
excessively from side to side, inspect the side wear pads on
the outer tube (see illustration ). Each of the six
round wear pads should be just contacting the sides of
the jib. It is possible to tighten the wear pad mount in
the hole, but with excessive wear will require
replacement wear pads (see Pg. 5-4 in the Parts Section
of the manual). When adjusting or replacing the wear
pad mount, apply thread locker (Vibra-Tite VC-3 or
equivalent) to the threads.
